Installation is easy as the PowerPak simply snaps onto the rear portion of the stock. Once installed, the PowerPak remains rigid and stable through the toughest of use. Designed specifically for the SpecOps Stock, the PowerPak fits perfectly on all versions. For the maximum in function and flexibility, choose the PowerPak from Knoxx.

Number 8

This is 12 Gauge Rio 1 1/8oz. Armored Slug. This is a Brenneke style slug, designed to have extreme penetration. This ammo is 23/4" and travels at 1540 fps. This ammo is designed for hunting large dangerous animals. The penetration and accurracy of this ammo in unmatched by any other slug on the market. It comes packed in 10rd. boxes, 250rds. per case


Number 9

100rds - 12 gauge Aguila Mini-Shell Slugs

This is Aguila 12 gauge mini-shell slugs. This ammo is loaded with a 7/8oz. slug and is only 1 1/2" long. This ammo has a very light recoil, so it is great for training kids to shoot with a 12 gauge. This ammo travels at 1250 FPS and is great for hunting and is a superior defense round. With this ammo your typical shotgun can hold 33% to 50% more rounds legally and have a lighter recoil. Any single, double, and most pump shotguns can use this ammo without any modifications. Unfortunately, this ammo will not work in semi-autos

Number 10

12 GA. Armor Piercing
This awesome round houses enough power to penetrate the thickest car doors, commercial steel doors and most objects up to 1/4" steel plate. This slug has a steel penetrator button, boosted by a very hot charge, has an unbelievable velocity to slice through metal like a hot knife slices through butter. (Cannot be shipped to addresses from California, New York City, and surrounding boroughs.) 2.75 round


Number 11

12 Gauge "Double Slug"
One shot, Two hits! You will double the punch, the impact and the chance of hitting your target all in one shot! The 12 Gauge round is loaded with two slugs that weigh 3/4 of an ounce each. The recoil is a little heavier than a standard 12 Gauge load and so are the resutlts! At 25 yards the two slugs will strike your target about two inches apart. At 50 yards, the strike spreads to nearly a foot apart! Unbelievable twin knock-down power! 2.75" round.



and now i am ready.

I'd say you did a nice job on a zombie/HD rig. Can you give more detail on each of the modifications you did?
 
I think it needs to have about 500 rounds thru it before I pass judgement.
50 slugs, 100 birdshot, 50 buckshot, 100 birdshot, 50 slugs, 100 birdshot, 50 buckshot. Then if any malfunctioned, determine the cause and BA,UU,R until you have 100 rounds with out malfs.
 
Now you are ready? Really?

I'm sorry, but I beg to differ. Now you are EQUIPPED. You have GEAR. If you have spent four months bolting bits on what started out as a perfectly serviceable shotgun and still have not fired the first round out of it (as you stated recently), you aren't ready for anything more demanding than another photo opportunity. That is to say, if you have had no introduction to safe shooting, no teaching regarding sporting or defensive shotgunning, no training, no practice, no trigger time- then NO, you aren't ready.

You see, what you have done is to spend a lot of time and money accumulating STUFF. You haven't yet (according to anything you have posted here that I have seen, that is) accumulated the SKILLS to put that accumulation of stuff to work for you safely and effectively. If I'm wrong on that count, please let me know.

If you bought a Steinway, would you assume that qualifies you to play a concert at Carnegie Hall, with no music lessons and no practice? Shotguns are no different than pianos. You have to learn to use it safely and shoot it effectively, if you are going to be genuinely "ready."

I am not trying to pick on you. I am genuinely concerned that you are making a basic mistake that a lot of other people have made before you and that a lot of others will make later. Owning the hardware is not the same as knowing how to use it. I'd rather hear you talking about spending $500 on tuition for Louis Awerbucks basic shotgun class (or Randy Cain's, or any of several others) and $300 for practice ammo, than to see a detailed list of advertisements for the gear you have bought to bolt onto a new shotgun that as of a couple of weeks ago you had not even fired for the first time.

Owning a gun does not make you a shooter. If you have had no training/teaching from a family member or friend so far, PLEASE seek out a local NRA instructor and take some classes, or go to a Hunter Safety Course. Find a gun club near you and look for whatever opportunities you can find to safely shoot your shotgun, learning what it will and won't do and what you can do with it.

This is not about hardware. It's about software. And yes, I am in fact an old fogey stuck-in-the-mud and no fun whatsoever either. And ugly to boot. Sorry 'bout that.

The unofficial motto here on THR's Shotgun Forum is BA/UU/R. That stands for Buy Ammo/Use Up/Repeat. So go shoot. Shoot a LOT. Start with inexpensive light birdshot loads, save your hyperexpensive hyperventilating world-destroying loads for genuine cosmic emergencies. Practice with the cheap stuff, and use regular ordinary buckshot and slugs for the run-of-the-mill emergencies. You can afford to shoot enough regular buck and slug loads to practice with them, and they will do fine for anything short of invading space aliens and undead zombie hordes.

Then come and tell us about the classes you have taken, the clay birds you have dusted, the targets you have felled, the skills you have learned and improved on. Anyone with a checkbook or a credit card can buy stuff- that's not impressive. Improve yourself as a shooter, as a tactician, as a sportsman- and tell us about it. THAT's impressive.

Stay safe,

lpl/nc
 
Amen, Lee.

Celtic, impress me. Don't do it by the stuff you've bolted on, do it by a huge pile of empty hulls, shattered targets, and some wear marks on that fine shotgun.

Lemme tell you a story about a young guy who posted here and on TFL about his Defender, which in all honesty I do not recall if he modified or pimped up.

In a fairly short time, he ran 25,000 rounds through it without a glitch. That's 100 cases of ammo.

As Lee said, you're equipped. Lamont was ready.....

Dismounting from pulpit....
 
I hadn't seen any posts to attest to this gentleman's level of training, but if Mr. Lapin and Mr. McCracken know something I don't, I'm on board. Self-betterment should never go lax, particularly when there are so many areas to develop in the realm of firearms. My thoughts on experience are expressed through a parable involving alcohol: When I was in college, I drank a lot of scotch because I thought it was the thing to do. After a couple years I finally drank good scotch and knew I was onto something, but only because I had something to compare it to. Similarly, the tactical features of your shotgun can be better appreciated (or realized to be unnecessary) with experience. Get out there and shoot it.

One way or another, it's still a good looking zombie gun.
 
Well Steve has not posted in this thread...

Lee Lapin's Post Number 8 speaks for me.

Hell it ought to be a Required Sticky for new folks interested in shotguns to read.

On the brighter side...

It is my understanding that if one is to try cycling Aguila Minis in an unmodified repeater, the Win 1300 is possibly the best choice.

And it appears the donut of death is quickly demountable to permit use of the fiber optic front with traditional shot. It can always go back on for the RIO slugs.

If the 12 Ga, "armor piercing" and "double slugs" are what I think they are, they came in 3-round blister packs for attention getting prices. If returnable, the credit might put one most of the way to the cost of a case of promo "gun club" 12 Ga bird shot.

A case of "gun club" could be fun with a short barrel and FO sight at a skeet range.
 
I have a 120 and the Aquila minis don't cycle reliably. Of course I had to try even knowing they were the wrong LOA. I bet my set up is every bit as good as yours for repelling boarders...

Sorry guys you are all wrong

Wow well for (1), I am Ready small arms expert 6 years usmc,( 2) I have shot 210 at day time 20 rounds at night out of my defender 1300 on 06-14-2007 from Aquila Mini-Shell to Armor Piercing and Double slugs o ya plus Armored slugs 00buck so the gun works I hit with in 2 inches from the bulls eye with a slug at 35 yards my first shot thanks to my sight-rite laser bore sighter it works wow and this is for HOBIE 14 mini-shell I shot in 4 sec Reload with 5 Double slugs thats all my side saddle holds and fired them with in 11 sec not bad ha and how dose your gun work at night.

Sorry guys you are all wrong

In all due respect sir -

Like hell I am!!

I would read again the Rules of Conduct you agreed to upon registering here and pay attention to "No Personal Attacks" - because I am not the only one that feels I have been "personally attacked"

1300 will cycle these Mini Shells.
In testing and evaluation these shells did not have consistent patterns, pattern density, or penetration.

Don't believe me and my tests?

Denny Hansen , editor of SWAT Magazine, call him and ask his take.

Now, I do not know of any LEO, or persons that use a shotgun for defensive purposes, or instructs defensive shotgun use, that recommends or suggests
and I quote :
from Aquila Mini-Shell to Armor Piercing and Double slugs o ya plus Armored slugs 00buck

We are going to have to agree to disagree.

I am also going to ask Staff to ask you for your Credentials sir.

I, as a responsible firearm owner, and member of THR , have a responsibility to any one that reads THR, be they member or not, to get Responsible information.

I am NOT going to recommend your shotgun, and load choices to folks, especially a new shotgunner.


Respectfully,

Steve

What MOS is that? I was only in the Army for 28 years and 11 months, but I've never heard of a job titled Small Arms Expert in either the Army or USMC. We had 11B and 18B in the Army Infantry and the Marines had 0311 and another MOS for machine gunner, but I don't know of any for all small arms. The closest I can think of would be 18B Special Forces Weapons Sergeant.

Watched the video on your myspace page. Any problems during actual operations with the sling blocking your light?

Jeff
 
Besides, if you were one of the misguided kids, you would never use usmc for the Corps
SemperFi
75-79

Machine gunners are 0331


Marine Corps MOSs
0311-- Rifleman

0313-- LAV Crewman

0321-- Reconnaissance Man

0331-- Machine Gunner

0341-- Mortarman

0351-- Assaultman

0352-- Antitank Assault Guided Missileman

0369-- Infantry Unit Leader


Canc the crap, If you are or were a Marine, I won't have you acting like a Jackass. If you were not, quit the BS before we all know what a liar you are.



Short Quiz, what kind of belt does a Senior wear?
 
Well, CelTicAssassin, all I can say is that I'm glad to hear that I was wrong. It's good to know that you and your Winchester really are ready. I hope you never have to use it for anything besides range time, training and photo shoots- that's the same thing I wish for everyone here who owns a shotgun for defensive purposes.

I'm glad you're proud of your shotgun, everyone should have full confidence in their defensive firearms as well as in their own ability to employ them successfully.

As I said, it was not ever my intention to pick on you. My concern was that you were a neophyte shotgunner, and that concern was sparked by your answer to my first question when you posted the first picture of your new Winchester here. You assure me that you have been adequately trained, that your skills are up to snuff, and I will certainly take your word for that.

Stay safe,

lpl/nc
 
I'm curious to know that MOS, too. I don't recall anything that came close to this one:
Ready small arms expert 6 years usmc


The Few, the Proud are well represented here. Its not going to go well for you to pretend to be something you aren't on this board.


I'd not let Brian's question go unanswered too long.
 
...and Hawk armor piercing do come in 3-round blister packs I get them from Delta Force.

I was afraid of that. Good on you for shooting them up. My admittedly unsolicited advice would be to not replace them. The "AP" round sells for slightly more than I paid for Federal .416 Rigby bonded solids. I find that ironic but that might just be me.

"Exotic" 12 Ga ammo is widely viewed as "Mall Ninja" and/or "Novelty" ammo. It's your money but at 20.00 per 3 round blister pack, you could amortize an SL900 in short order.

FWIW remember this day or night always maintain EYE->MUZZLE->TARGET

cool rig

The 1300 is an "nichy" shotgun IMO. It was my first 12 guage and I like it quite a bit but with the chokeless barrel, and a new one costing more than the gun, and being limited to the bead sight without a lot of smithing, it really is only a close in platform. I am in the process of trying a pistol grip with some loaded down 00 in it and am considering a flashlight on the forend/barrel for CQB and obstical busting. Mine wont pattern for anything past about 15 feet with any ammo so I've given up trying to make it work for anything but what it is designed for and will just look for a Mossburg or Saiga for an actual versitile shotgun.
